Rutherford County NC Democratic Party

NC'S 5th AND 11th DISTRICT

Rutherford County has a total population of 66,701 with 12,414 registered Democrats, 16,723 Republicans, and 13,143 Unaffiliateds.

​

Our representatives to the NC House and Senate are from different and overlapping districts, the US Senators and the state officers are all statewide, and there is a bewildering array of judicial and other districts we have to deal with as well.

But our US Congressman is a big deal, and the constitutional requirements for redistricting make their districts political footballs every 10 years in a way that no other office is.

In 2019 sections of Rutherford county were assigned to two different Congressional Districts. As shown on the map below, the western part of the county is now in DISTRICT 11, including Chimney Rock, Lake Lure, Rutherfordton and part of Spindale. The eastern part of the county is now in DISTRICT 5, including part of Spindale, all of Forest City, Ellenboro and Bostic.
